“…While departments in most HE institutions in Britain have well-oiled support systems to address the personal and academic needs of students, mentors are generally randomly allocated to students, who often decline the opportunity to meet and discuss their academic performance and personal circumstances with their academic advisors. In her recent Higher Education and Working-Class Academics , Teresa Crew (2020) has proposed an alternative advisory system based on mentors willing and able to support their students to construct their own professional identity through fostering a sense of belonging and promoting role models.…”

The article discusses the issue of access to Classical education in general and Greek and Latin language in particular currently experienced by working-class students in the UK, both at high school and at University level. It then focuses specifically on the provision of Classical languages in the Liverpool region, traditionally an area of deprivation and a focal point of Classics poverty. The article details the results from a survey conducted on 68 students of the Department of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology of the University of Liverpool, which shows that even when the cohort is not predominantly middle class, feelings of marginalisation and estrangement continue to be felt by students. Finally, it suggests a number of recommendations to address these concerns, tackle elitism, and promote inclusion.
